adopted  by  Yale  at  its  foundation  in  1700.  The  custom  lasted  until  about  the  time  of  the  Revolu¬ 
tionary  war.

country.  There  is  hope  for  the  future,  however,  especially  in  the  recognition  of  education  as  an

This  study  deals  with  the  relatively  permanent  human  quality  which  the  author  terms  will- 
temperament.  She  believes  temperament  to  be  determined  (1)  by  the  amount  of  nerve  energy 
possessed  by  the  individual  and  (2)  by  the  tendency  for  such  energy  to  express  itself  immediately  in 
motor  reaction.

This  book  tells  what  is  meant  by  intelligence  testing,  what  means  are  employed  to  test  general 
intelligence,  and  what  results  have  been  achieved.  It  first  presents  a  history  of  the  gradual  evolu¬ 
tion  of  the  intelligence  test  and  discusses  some  of  the  basic  assumptions  underlying  the  work.  The 
various  tests,  individual  and  group,  that  are  at  present  available  are  then  described.  Finally  the 
author  collects  and  analyzes  the  main  results  of  intelligence  testing  which  have  previously  been 
scattered  in  numerous  publications.

The  author  of  this  book  aims  to  acquaint  students  of  education  and  teachers  with  effective  means 
of  realizing  the  purposes  of  secondary  education  in  modern  life.  After  surveying  the  great  changes 
which  have  taken  place  in  the  industrial  and  economic  life  of  American  society  during  the  past  cen¬ 
tury,  he  briefly  sketches  the  history  and  purposes  of  secondary  education  in  the  United  States,  and. 
shows  how  the  high  school  may  meet  present-day  needs.

The  object  of  this  investigation  was  to  determine  the  permanence  of  learning  in  cert  ain  subjects 
studied  in  high  school  but  not  continued  in  higher  institutions.  The  study  was  made  of  two  senior 
classes  in  educational  psychology— one  in  Rutgers  College;  the  other  in  the  New  Jersey  college  for 
women.  A  high  retention  was  found  in  the  case  of  United  States  history;  second  came  ancient  his¬ 
tory,  and  so  on  down  with  geometry,  Latin,  chemistry  and  physics,  in  the  order  named.

Concludes  that  the  segregation  of  at  least  freshman  classes  in  high  school,  yields  positive  and 
immediate  benefits  to  the  mentally  alert  as  well  as  to  the  mentally  slow  pupils.

The  work  makes  a  detailed  survey  of  the  program  of  secondary  studies  as  a  whole.  The  funda¬

that  social  studies  and  social  objectives  should  constitute  a  considerable  part  of  a  pupil’s  curriculum 
throughout  each  year  of  the  six  years,  at  least,  of  secondary  education.

behavior.  Mental  quality7  in  a  child  may  be  deficient,  while  his  quantity  of  intelligence  is  normal
